Excellent – A2T is one of the best safari companies you can get!!!
Noel – one of our guides – knows Tanzania and the African wildlife very well. He’s a good animal spotter with professional explanations to Tanzania’s Flora and Fauna (e.g. the Ngorongoro is not just a crater, it’s a caldera…), even while driving the car at the same time. Noel is such a funny guy and after 8 days it was terrible, leaving him at the airport, because it felt like leaving part of our family.
We all and maybe especially our Kids (14y, 10y, 9 y) loved him and we wish him and his family all the best! See you hopefully once again!
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
